Runes

Anyone out there interested in ancient Anglo-Saxon writing?
In rereading The Hobbit, I came across the runic writings in the map and in some other places. I'd looked into runes before and knew what they were, but this time I wanted to learn to read them. I took it to a buddy of mine who could read, and in watching him I managed to get a feel for it. From there I went to a Wiki article and read about them.
So it's still coming together, but I can safely say that I can now read and write in runes at a basic level. Can anyone else here read or write runes, or have an interest in them?
